Testimonials

"Thanks again for the brilliant course which we really enjoyed." Lesley & Andreas

"I just wanted to pass on my thanks for the Understanding Your DSLR course. I found it invaluable and now have lots of practising to do which I look forward to! " Nicola

"Great course once again" Jason

"Many thanks again for another fantastic course it has filled many a gap in my knowledge and helped me no end....now it’s just practice!" Fran

"I really enjoyed the Practical course - I got a lot out of it and it did really make me think about what kind of photos I like to take. I used to take a lot of landscape/townscape like photos and they look quite boring compared with the more close up macro photos I've taken during the course. I like colours so close ups may work better for me - its something I'll be working on. Definitely, the course has made me think a lot about what makes interesting and emotive pictures."

"Hi Keith, Holly and I just wanted to thank you for such a great day on Sunday, we both learnt so much and enjoyed it immensely. It is always interesting to light a spark with youngsters to see where it goes, I think you helped do that with Holly"

"The practical tasks you set us during the lesson and for homework greatly improved the way I took photos and the extended the range of subjects that I would normally take the photos of. Being able to see other people's work and getting feedback from you and fellow photographers was a constructive way of developing my eye as a photographer. And finally, the course provided me with a reason and most importantly the confidence to approach an organisation and offer them my services as a photographer. Without that I don't think I would've ever considered showing a total stranger some of my work and expect them to give me a job just based on that. So thank you Keith for a most inspirational course and my only complaint is that it was too short."

"I really enjoyed the Practical course and felt the long journey about 3 hrs there and back was well worth the effort. The things I liked were getting a better understanding of seeing a photo by knowing more about what to look for. Seeing the efforts of others on the course also helped. I liked the projects we did in particular the last night when we tried taking each others portrait. I enjoyed your whole approach to us and the way you had constructed the course."

"Having just completed the understanding your digital SLR course I just wanted to say thank you for delivering a course that does exactly as the title suggests. Though I still have a lot to learn I feel far less intimidated by the technology I own. I now feel like I have a grasp of the main concepts that no end of manual reading could have achieved and can’t wait to get out and practice. Thank you.

I also did the seeing pictures course in October and will certainly be recommending both to anyone who’ll listen!"

"I would like to say that I wase extremely impressed with the DSLR course. I didn't really know what to expect, but found every session very helpful. I now feel much more comfortable with the basic functions of my camera, as well as being able to photograph more creatively using the techniques that you taught. I definitely learnt more than I would have been able to from my handbook. I found the course and techniques that I learnt extremely inspirational, and am now more open minded with my approach to photography."

"The SLR course has given me enough information to keep going for a while. I really enjoyed your classes and you know how to present the material in an interesting and engaging way!!"

"Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent Understanding Your Digital SLR course I finished last night. It really has been most useful. Although I don't think I learnt anything radically new, it was well worth it to have the user manual described in non-scary, everyday language and to hear your invaluable experiences and hints."

"On the whole I thought the course was excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It has helped me no end although at times I didn’t understand some of the technical terms used as I am relatively new to taking pictures. I thought that this course would be a good place to start."

"I was concerned that the course would be above my level, however, the course delivered exactly what I was hoping for."

"Going through area's such as aperture, depth of field and white balance was a real plus for me and help me understand them in a way that I didn't really understand when reading the manual."

"Thought tutor was v good at responding patiently and clearly to student questions."

"I thought the course was great, the right length and aimed very well at the group (like myself) who are keen to learn but are never going to do it the hard way by looking at the manual."
